I saw quite a lot of topics and FAQs about this issue, but I've been stuck with trying to solve the issue.

Firstly I used Ren'Py's FAQ about remembering user choices.

Code:

menu:
    kasu "Today looks glorious. {w}I wonder which route I should take?"
    "Take long way":
        $ gift = "bracelet"
        stop music
        jump long_way
    "Take shortcut":
        jump shortcut

During this menu the bracelet is something the MC is given as a parting gift if she chooses to take the long way. Pretty self explanatory.

Code:

menu:
    kasu "Yeah, yeah. {w}Hey, there was something I wanted to talk to you about,"
    "Ask about records and music sheets":   
        jump records
    "Talk about dream":
        jump dreams
    "Desperately try to hide bracelet" if gift == "bracelet":
        jump bracelet2

The third menu choice is hidden and is only seen if the user clicked on the long way and received the bracelet as a parting gift.

Either time I click on the short way or long way afterwards when I reach this second menu, I'm given this error:

Code:

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
  File "game\script.rpy", line 253, in script
  File "game\script.rpy", line 259, in python
NameError: name 'gift' is not defined

-- Full Traceback ------------------------------------------------------------

Full traceback:
  File "C:\Users\Markedleine\Documents\My Works\renpy-6.14.0-sdk\renpy\execution.py", line 266, in run
  File "C:\Users\Markedleine\Documents\My Works\renpy-6.14.0-sdk\renpy\ast.py", line 1225, in execute
  File "C:\Users\Markedleine\Documents\My Works\renpy-6.14.0-sdk\renpy\exports.py", line 487, in menu
  File "C:\Users\Markedleine\Documents\My Works\renpy-6.14.0-sdk\renpy\python.py", line 1193, in py_eval
  File "game\script.rpy", line 259, in <module>
NameError: name 'gift' is not defined

Windows-7-6.1.7601-SP1
Ren'Py 6.14.0.305
Nostalgic Mist 0.0

I defined gift many times and even created many variables under label start but still nothing changed. The error still resides.
I'm stuck and need some help.

Try:

Code:

menu:
    kasu "Today looks glorious. {w}I wonder which route I should take?"
    "Take long way":
        $ gift = "bracelet"
        stop music
        jump long_way
    "Take shortcut":
        $ gift = "none"
        jump shortcut

More generally, a common issue which leads NameErrors is loading from an out-of-date save.

Oh wow, thank you so much.

Oh, if that's true about NameErrors then I will make sure to update my saves then. Thanks again ^^

Note that you can create an after_load label to update the saves for you:

Code:

label after_load:
    if not hasattr(store, 'gift'):
         $ gift = False
    return
